Specification of Letters Yatent. Patented Aug. 15, 1911.

Application filed December 11, 1909. Serial No. 532,545.

Ti all whom it may concern:

lie it known that I, Arman G. .kucnu, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful improvements in Paste-Jars, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact specification.

My invention is concerned with pastejars,

and it. is designed to produce a device of the class described which, while simple in its construction and cheap to manufacture, will nevertheless keep the paste in perfect condition, ready for instant use, and that without any waste.

To illustrate my invention, I annex hereto a sheet ot drawings, in which the same reference characters are used to designate identical parts in all the tigures of which,---

l ig ure i1 is a perspective view, with the cover rcmovml; Fig. 0 is a vertical section on the line r\ --l of Fig. 3, with the cover in place; and Fig. 3 is a horizontal section on the line B- li of Fig. 2.

The in r (I, considered as a whole is cylindrical in shape, closed at the sides and bot.- tom, and its upper edge is provided. with integral threads I), which are adapted to cooperate with threads formed on the flange r] of the cover a, which is provided with the entral dome porti n to accoimnodate the handle of the hrnsh la when the jar is closed as seen in Fi The jar is made air tight when closed to prevent the evaporation of the water in the paste and in one of the rereptz'u-l s by placing" the packing ring against the interior of the horizontal annular llange Z: Formed hetween the dome portion and the llane'e d of the cover.

The interior of the iar is divided into three receptacles open at the top, and the largest one l is designed to hold the paste m, and is preferably of a thick crescent, shape, so that. the two smaller receptacles n and 0 may he formed'hetwoen the wall 7/ and the opposite side oi the jar hy the interposition ol" the straight cross wall 1 which preferably has its 'upper edge 1' rounded oil, as shown in Fig.5. 1, to prevent wear on the brush the surplus water it across said is forced out of it bypressing edge: prior to applying it to the paste 'ml. The receptacle or compartment n. is adapted to receive water, while the compartment 0 is designed to hold the brush. I wish it to he understood as shown in Fi. 1, that the cross wall q is of less height than the wall 7) struetion prevents the water in the brush from flowing over onto the paste and also from flowing down the side of the jar when the brush is wiped on the rounded upper surface of said Well q.

The use of the device will be readily apparent: cmnpartment n is kept, say, half full of water, while no water is placed in the receptacle o, in which the brush is kept, and, of course, the brush will be dry when the cover is first removed after the purchase of the paste. The brush is dipped in the water no moisten it, and then the paste is softened by the use of the moistened brush, and so much of it is used as is desired, after which the brush is placed in its own dry receptable 0 and the cover is screwed down tightly. The moisture resulting from the evaporation of the water in the rece 'itacle n is confined to the unfilled portions of the jar proper. and serves to keep the brush moist and ready for immediate use. The advantage of this arsingle watcr filled compiutn'ient is used to hold the brush when it not in use, will be readily apparent, as in that case the br ish, with the paste remaining on it after i is used, is thrust into the water, and the paste dissolves and is wasted in that manner.

\Vhat I claim as new, and desire to secure hy Letters Patent oi the United States, is: A paste jar comprising a cylindrical body portion with a crescent, shaped wall extending" across part way of: the circumference thereof and secured thereto to provide a paste receptacle, an intermediate wall havinp; one end secured centrally lo and at right angles to the crescent shaped wall and also to the wall of the jar, said intermediate wall living ol less height than the crescent shaped 'all and that of the jar, and having a rounded upper edge, said intermediate wall providing on opposite sides thereof a brush and l a water receptacle, said jar having a screw and the wall of the jar, this con- As before stated, the receptacle or rangemenl: over similar devices in which a threaded upper portion, 'a cover for the jar having an annular horizontal flange which merges into a vertical screw threaded flange whieh adapted t0 connect with the screw 5 threads of the jar, said cover having a central dome. which is adapted to inclose the handle of the brush when the same is located in its receptacle.

In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and affixed my seal, this 4th day of 10 December A. D. 1909.
